Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cissy Wechter, widowed after a long-term marriage, passes along what she's learned as a suddenly single "sixty-something." This book of real-life experiences-written for real-life women-will change your life! "For the millions of women who are looking for 'That Guy,' this is your handbook." Phyllis Diller "Cissy's book is a wonderful example of the resilience and power of women. She says we all have to keep on going with love, imagination and sex, and she tells us in a funny, honest way. More power to women.at any age!!!" Teri Garr "Our capability for being truly alive well into the age limits of our lives has barely been tapped and articulated. With this book the bar has officially been raised.read, learn and enjoy!" Herb Goldberg, Ph.D., The Inner Male, The New Male "Though Cissy is a city gal with zero body fat, she speaks to all women in their sixties. She is very honest about her biases and disappointments. Cissy urges women to take chances and her book is chock full of possibilities for those of us women over sixty who often feel invisible. Check it out." Marcia Wallace, Don't Look Back-We're Not Going That Way "If you want to stay a smart and sexy Grrl Genius in your sixties and way beyond, listen to what Cissy has to say, and for heaven's sake, do it!" Cathryn Michon, The Grrl Genius Guide to Sex (With Other People) Cissy Wechter, widowed after a long-term marriage, shares what she's learned as a suddenly single "60-something." She draws not only on her own experience jumping back into the dating world after more than 40 years, but also on her survey of senior women across America. Often undervalued by the men in their age group, sometimes feeling like "old clunkers" in the fast lane, unsure whether to claim a love for sushi and rap or admit a preference for broiled chicken and oldies radio, these women face new decisions daily. They wonder, "What are we, chopped liver? Just because we know how to make it..." Whether you wear a size 3 or 3X, have a Ph.D. or dropped out of high-school...whether you're widowed, divorced, or you've always been single...if you're a woman "of a certain age" challenged by today's dating scene, you must read this book. Cissy's amorous adventures, outspoken opinions, and candid words of advice might seem outrageous to some - especially coming from a woman her age. But her refreshing honesty and breezy writing style makes this book as much fun as a cross between The Golden Girls and Sex and the City. Currently living with a younger man, Cissy has found a way to live her own life to the fullest, and senior women everywhere would do well to follow her advice. After all, these may not be the BEST years of their lives, but they're definitely the best ones they have left!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jirí Levý's seminal work, The Art of Translation, considered a timeless classic in Translation Studies, is now available in English. Having drawn on adjacent disciplines, the methodology of Czech functional sociosemiotic structuralism and the state-of-the art in the West, Levý synthesized his findings and experience in the field presenting them in a reader-friendly book, which combines the approaches of a theoretician, systemic analyst, historian, critic, teacher, practitioner and populariser. Although focused on literary translation from theoretical, descriptive and historical perspectives, it presents a conceptualization of a general theory, addressing a number of issues discussed today. The 'practical' mission of the book as a theory extending to practice is based on the same historical-dialectic affinity of methods, norms, functions and values, accounting for the translator's agency and other contextual agents involved in the communication process. The book will be useful to translators, researchers, students and teachers in Translation and Literary Studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being a Successful Interpreter: Adding Value and Delivering Excellence is a practice-oriented guide on the future of interpreting and the ways in which interpreters can adjust their business and professional practices for the changing market. The book considers how globalisation and human migration have brought interpreting to the forefront and the subsequent need for interpreters to serve a more diverse client base in more varied contexts. At its core is the view that interpreters must move from the traditional impartial and distant approach to become committed to adding value for their clients. Features include: Interviews with leading interpreting experts such as Valeria Aliperta, Judy and Dagmar Jenner and Esther Navarro-Hall Examples from authentic interpreting practice Practice-driven, research-backed discussion of the challenges facing the future of interpreting Guides for personal development Ideas for group activities and development activities within professional associations. Being a Successful Interpreter is a practical and thorough guide to the business and personal aspects of interpreting. Written in an engaging and user-friendly manner, it is ideal for professional interpreters practising in conference, medical, court, business and public service settings, as well as for students and recent graduates of interpreting studies. Winner of the Proz.com Best Book Prize 2016.

Book excerpt: Learning Chinese can be frustrating and difficult, partly because it's very different from European languages. Following a teacher, textbook or language course is not enough. They show you the characters, words and grammar you need to become proficient in Chinese, but they don't teach you how to learn them! Regardless of what program you're in (if any), you need to take responsibility for your own learning. If you don't, you will miss many important things that aren't included in the course you're taking. If you study on your own, you need to be even more aware of what you need to do, what you're doing at the moment and the difference between them. Here are some of the questions I have asked and have since been asked many times by students: How do I learn characters efficiently? How do I get the most out of my course or teacher? Which are the best learning tools and resources? How can I become fluent in Mandarin? How can I improve my pronunciation? How do I learn successfully on my own? How can I motivate myself to study more? How can I fit learning Chinese into a busy schedule? The answers I've found to these questions and many others form the core of this book. It took eight years of learning, researching, teaching and writing to figure these things out. Not everybody has the time to do that! I can't go back in time and help myself learn in a better way, but I can help you! This book is meant for normal students and independent language learners alike. While it covers all major areas of learning, you won't learn Chinese just by reading this book. It's like when someone on TV teaches you how to cook: you won't get to eat the delicious dish just by watching the program; you have to do the cooking yourself. That's true for this book as well. When you apply what you learn, it will boost your learning, making every hour you spend count for more, but you still have to do the learning yourself. This is what a few readers have said about the book: "The book had me nodding at a heap of things I'd learnt the hard way, wishing I knew them when I started, as well as highlighting areas that I'm currently missing in my study." - Geoff van der Meer, VP engineering "This publication is like a bible for anyone serious about Chinese proficiency. It's easy for anyone to read and written with scientific precision." - Zachary Danz, foreign teacher, children's theatre artist About me I started learning Chinese when I was 23 (that's more than eight years ago now) and have since studied in many different situations, including serious immersion programs abroad, high-intensity programs in Sweden, online courses, as well as on the side while working or studying other things. I have also successfully used my Chinese in a graduate program for teaching Chinese as a second language, taught entirely in Chinese mostly for native speakers (the Graduate Institute for Teaching Chinese as a Second Language at National Taiwan Normal University). All these parts have contributed to my website, Hacking Chinese, where I write regularly about how to learn Mandarin.

Book excerpt: Training institutions offering specialized translation and interpreting programs need to keep up with the rapid development of digitalization and the increasingly sophisticated requirements of the language industry. This book addresses digital trends and employability in the market from the aspect of training: how have the latest digital trends shaped the language industry, and what competencies will translators, interpreters and T/I trainers need so as to meet current market requirements? Four major subjects of high relevance are discussed in 12 chapters: (1) collaborative partnership in the field of fit-for-market practices with a focus on e-learning materials; (2) competence development in translator and interpreter training; (3) the implications of neural machine translation and the increasing significance of post-editing practices, as well as (4) the role of new technologies and new methods in the work and training of interpreters and translators. With an introduction written by Juanjo Arevalillo, managing director of Hermes Traducciones and former vice-president of the European Union of Associations of Translation Companies, the book creates a fresh momentum for researchers, academics, professionals and trainees to be engaged in a constructive dialogue.
